This is one of the most interesting group games. It's a shame that games like this are less often played because of technology. People are increasingly losing touch with nature and other people. Previously, people used to socialize much more with each other, but technology has spoiled that experience.

Rope pulling is an old, simple, group game where 2 groups of 8 people compete in physical strength. Rope overhanging is a sport and from 1900 to 1920 was an official sport at the Olympics, but was later abolished.

The game consists of having each group, with members lined up one after the other, grab one rope and at any given moment begin pulling it towards each other. The winning group is the one who manages to pull the rope to their side. More specifically, the center of the rope marks the center point, which is initially positioned above the center point on the ground. Four points from the center point on the rope are then marked one point on each side. When the game starts, and the contestants start pulling, the goal is to bring the rival point to the center point on the ground. Victory can also be achieved if one of the rival competitors falls or sits on the ground.

The rope is about 10 cm thick and has to be strong enough to withstand strong stretching.
